Introduction
I. Corporate Positioning and Core Advantages
As a comprehensive enterprise integrating self-manufacturing and national agency, we adopt a dual-drive model to deliver leading fluid transportation solutions. Our in-house foundry uses centrifugal casting technology to produce 500,000 tons of ductile iron pipes annually, covering DN80-DN3000 diameters—among which DN3000 ultra-large diameter pipes increase water transmission capacity by 20x compared to DN1000 while reducing material consumption by 19%. We also represent over 10 renowned domestic pipe brands, integrating resources to serve municipal, industrial, agricultural, and fire protection sectors with one-stop procurement and full-life-cycle services.

II. Product Technical Features
1. Exceptional Mechanical Performance
High Strength: Tensile strength ≥420MPa, yield strength ≥300MPa, capable of withstanding 250bar burst pressure—far exceeding ordinary cast iron pipes.
Superior Toughness: Elongation rate ≥10%, excellent impact resistance, passing 8-grade seismic tests, suitable for complex environments with geological subsidence or earthquakes.
High External Load Resistance: Semi-rigid structure design withstands vehicle rolling load and soil extrusion, ideal for heavy-load areas.
2. Leading Corrosion Resistance
Natural Material Resistance: Spherical graphite minimizes matrix disruption,offering better acid-alkali resistance than gray cast iron, usable in sewage environments with pH4.5-12 for long-term service.
Multi-layer Anti-corrosion Coatings:
Internal Lining: Cement mortar, epoxy resin, or epoxy ceramic lining (resistant to strong acids/alkalis), reducing friction coefficient by 15% and improving water transmission efficiency by 20%.
External Coating: Zinc layer + asphalt paint composite coating (1000-hour salt spray test), or customized FBE/PU coatings for coastal high-salt environments.
3. Leak-proof Sealing and Easy Installation
Flexible Joint Design: T-type socket (rubber ring seal) or K-type mechanical joint allows ±3° angular deflection and axial displacement, ensuring seismic resistance and zero leakage after installation.
Rapid Construction: No welding or special tools needed, single-person operation, construction efficiency 30% higher than steel pipes.
4. Environmental Friendliness and Economy
100% Recyclable: Ductile iron is fully recyclable, compliant with green building standards.
Long Lifespan & Low Maintenance: Designed for over 50 years of service, 20% lower comprehensive cost than PE pipes. Used in Singapore Changi Water Treatment Plant with a 20-year leak-free record.
III. Technical Parameters and Certifications
Diameter Range: DN80-DN3000 (3"-120"), covering municipal main pipes to community branch pipes; DN3000 ultra-large diameter pipes fill domestic market gaps.
Pressure Rating: K7-K9 grades, working pressure ≤40bar, test pressure ≥1.5x working pressure.
Standards: Compliant with ISO 2531, EN 545, AWWA C151; certified by DNV GL, SGS, and other international bodies.
Joint Types: T-type, K-type, self-anchoring, flanged—adaptable to various installation requirements.
